There was a plunge in traffic a few weeks ago that alot of people had affect them. Then my traffic came back to normal.
On the 25th of september, my traffic has completely gone to a big 0. Firstly my hubs were removed from google completely now I just checked a hub I was on the first page for, it now on the 9th page on google.

help pleasssseee
